DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0021] Example
[0022] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the utility model provides a technical solution: a local scour protection device for bridge piers, comprising a base 1 and a pier 11, the base 1 being fixedly connected to the pier 11 at the center, a bottom layer protection component 2 for protecting the base 1 being provided on the outside of the base 1, and a middle layer protection component 3 for protecting the bottom of the pier 11 being provided on the outside of the bottom of the pier 11. During specific use, the base 1 is the basic supporting structure of the pier 11, which is usually buried in the riverbed or river bank and is used to disperse the pressure on the pier 11 and transfer it to the foundation. The pier 11 is the main load-bearing structure of the bridge, which is responsible for supporting the bridge deck load and transferring it to the base 1 and the foundation. The bottom layer protection component is mainly used to reduce the scouring force of the water flow, thereby protecting the base 1 structure from damage, and the middle layer protection component 3 is mainly used to protect the bottom of the pier 11 from direct scouring by the water flow.
[0023] As an implementation method in this embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the bottom protection component 2 includes a rubber frame 21 sleeved on the outer wall of the base 1, the inner wall of the rubber frame 21 is fixed to the outer wall of the base 1, and the outer wall of the rubber frame 21 is fixedly sleeved with a protective frame 22, which is made of plastic material. During specific use, when water flow or floating objects impact the bridge pier 11, the bottom protection component 2 can first withstand the impact force, and the rubber frame 21 uses its elasticity to absorb part of the impact force, while the protective frame 22 further disperses and slows down the remaining impact force. This buffering and unloading mechanism helps to protect the base 1 from direct damage. The protective frame 22 made of plastic material has good corrosion resistance and can resist the erosion of chemicals and microorganisms in the water flow, which helps to extend the service life of the bottom protection component 2 and maintain its good protection effect.
[0024] As an implementation method in this embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the middle-layer protection component 3 includes an annular frame 31 symmetrically arranged above and below, a plurality of support rods 32 are fixed in an annular array between the two annular frames 31, and a plurality of reinforcing rods 33 are arranged in a vertical array between the plurality of support rods 32. A buffer component 4 for buffering and unloading force is provided on both annular frames 31. During specific use, when water flow or floating objects impact the bottom of the pier 11, the middle-layer protection component 3 first bears the impact force, and the annular frame 31 can evenly disperse the impact force. The support rods 32 and the reinforcing rods 33 together form a solid support structure to prevent the protection component from deformation or damage. At the same time, the buffer component 4 absorbs and disperses the remaining impact force to further protect the bottom of the pier 11 from damage.
[0025] As an implementation method in this embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the buffer assembly 4 includes a ring array of through holes 41 on the ring frame 31, and a push rod 42 is inserted into each of the through holes 41. An anti-slip block 43 is fixedly installed on the end of the push rod 42 away from the bridge pier 11, and the end of the push rod 42 close to the bridge pier 11 contacts the bridge pier 11. A buffer spring 44 is sleeved on the outside of the push rod 42. The buffer spring 44 is set between the ring frame 31 and the bridge pier 11. One end of the buffer spring 44 is fixed to the inner wall of the ring frame 31. The outer wall of the push rod 42 is smaller than the through hole 41. On the inner wall, the top rod 42 slides in the through-hole 41. During specific use, when water flow or floating objects impact the bridge pier 11, the impact force first acts on the top rod 42, and the top rod 42 transmits the impact force to the buffer spring 44. After the buffer spring 44 is compressed, it uses its elasticity to absorb and disperse the impact force, thereby reducing direct damage to the bridge pier 11. At the same time, the anti-detachment block 43 can prevent the top rod 42 from detaching from the through-hole 41 when subjected to impact force, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the buffer assembly 4.
[0026] As an implementation method in this embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, a plurality of filling bags 5 are provided in the space formed by the annular frame 31, the support rods 32, the reinforcing rods 33 and the bridge pier 11. The inner side of the filling bags 5 is filled with gravel. The gravel layer in the filling bags 5 further enhances the protective effect. The friction between the gravel particles can slow down the scouring speed of the water flow and absorb part of the impact force. In addition, the water permeability of the gravel allows water to pass through, reducing the direct scouring of the bottom of the bridge pier 11 by the water flow.
[0027] As an implementation method in this embodiment, Figure 3As shown, the annular frame 31 is composed of a first curved plate 311 and a second curved plate 312, which are fixed by bolts. The first curved plate 311 and the second curved plate 312 are connected together by bolts to form a complete annular frame 31. The shape and size of the annular frame 31 can be adjusted synchronously according to the shape and size of the pier 11. It should be noted that the support rods 32 and the reinforcing rods 33 are welded and fixed to the annular frame 31 after the annular frame 31 is sleeved on the outside of the pier 11.
[0028] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit the same.
